Just for clarification because I do come from this line of the family and I just realized that I had a little something wrong in my transcribing my notes after reading Riobard's response.  Would I have the following information correct?... Denis Rohune McCarthy married Nora Harrington. They had the following children. Mary, Michael, Daniel, Denis, John, Katherine, Timothy(Tade), Ellen and Nora. This Denis was a bonesetter am I correct?? Their son Timothy Tade McCarthy,married Katherine Cohu O'Sullivan daughter of Denis Cohu O'Sullivan and Mary Rohune McCarthy. (Would anyone know who Mary Rohune McCarthy's parents were?) They had a son named Denis who was born in Ireland or elsewhere(?) who married Julia Harrington in Butte, Montana and then went to California, had some children  and then back to Ireland around 1912,1913 where they had more children. Do I have this right? I originally had Denis's fathers name wrong as Denis Tade McCarthy.  Was the Denis Rohune McCarthy that married a Julia Harrington a weaver? I believe he later went to England where he died in the 1960's according to my husband's cousin whose family lived with him for awhile. Denis's Daughter Mary Marie born in Ireland in 1913 married a Daniel Lynn I believe in Ireland and lived in the house that Denis grew up in. I was told this house still stands today. The daughter of Mary Marie said that then they moved to England, back to Ireland, to Boston and then up to Ontario, Canada where the mother Mary Marie passed away and where the daughter is still living.   Audrie "Cut not the wings of your dreams...for they are the heartbeat and the freedom of your soul" ________________________________ From: Riobard O' Dwyer <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, March 23, 2013 8:31 AM Subject: Re: [BEARA] new McCarthy Beara query Terrance,             I haven't seen any other question.

*In middle of "spilling" rain, a party of 6 lovely people from Butte, Montana, led by Jim Barry, arrived at my door yesterday evening. As usual, I invited them in with a heart and a half. They were there to meet me. I hope that good people mightn't get the impression from all my research that I am a first cousin to Our Lord !!. Anyhow, we had a great evening. Being from Butte, there always is a particular welcome for visitors from that part of Montana to which many, many, many, workers from most parts of Bearawho worked in the copper mines in Allihies emigrated when work here in the local copper mines slackened off. Many of those miners used bring some earth from Beara to the mines of Butte in case they would never again see Beara. and the earth would be placed on their graves in memory of our Peninsula from which they came. After giving them a cead mile failte (= a hundred thousand welcomes) in Beara style, we all sat down to a most interesting evening's entertainment. I remember many of the people from Butte, while I was there, meeting such as Fr. Sarsfield O'Sullivan and his sister Vernie, John "the Yank" Harrington, Tom Mulcahy, Nealie Healy (from Barrakilla, Ardgroom) and his wife, Tracey Thornton, Ellen Crain, and many other fine helpful people who couldn't have been nicer to Joan and myself. I was in Butte many years ago making, with Fr. Sars, the Film "From Beara to Butte" about the copper miners who emigrated to Butte from Beara. I told them --- Jim and the people who were with him --- about the evening when I had a great session with "the Yank" (who lived to be over 100) playing his single-row melodion and me with my accordion ---- the two of us lifting the roof with jigs, reels and hornpipes; the story of when I was walking down a street in Butte when a man came up to me and asked "Are you the guy who was in the newspaper yesterday ?" "How do you know ?" says I. "Well" says he,"the map of Ireland is written all over your face !!"; and about the day "the Yank" & I were playing our Irish music on the aeroplane terrace in Butte. A big c rowd were around us. An air hostess must have heard us, because, when I got on the aeroplane to travel on, she asked me if I would play my accordion for the passengers, so, on the flight, my accordion was taken out and I entertained the passengers with plenty traditional Irish music all the way from Butte to Salt Lake City. I told them then about the Siege of the oldCastle in Dunboy near Castletownbere wh ich was destroyed when an English army of a few thousand men attacked the garrison of 143 in the Castle in the year 1601. I showed them a cannon ball which was dug from the ruins of the Castle by a Cork archaeologist some years ago when he was excavating. And then. of course, I took out my accordion and played some lively Irish traditional music for them. After about an hour enjoying themselves with us, I told them about the museum further west in Allihies (to which they headed) which shows many things associated with the local copper mines and the miners who later emigrated to Butte. They also spent a most interesting hour there as well. Despite the lashing rain, they headed back to Killarney waving heartily to Joan and myself standing in our door and sprinkling a drop of Holy water after them for a safe journey. ---- Riobard. *

In answer to Terrance's question: "Is Timothy a McCarthy from Rohane ?" The answer is "No". Tradition has it that this section of McCarthys in Beara came originally from the district of Carrigrohane, which is very close to Cork City. The surname McCarthy in Gaelic, Mac Carthaigh, means son of Carthach {Mac in Gaelic means SON]. Carthach, from whom the name originated, was King of Cashel [Co. Tipperary] around 1040 A.D. ----- Riobard. On 23 March 2013 01:25, terrance <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > AoB volume 2 chronicles the various McCarthy lines.

This is fascinating, and consequently, the mighty questions continue: So, is it correct to conclude that the name Rohane presumes McCarthy? .... in some sense, was this like the adding or dropping the O', as in Dwyer & O'Dwyer? And, might other names have used Rohane? Might Murphy or Sullivan. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, March 23, 2013 2:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: BEARA Digest, Vol 8, Issue 83 Today's Topics: 1. new McCarthy Beara query (terrance) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2013 20:25:35 -0500 From: "terrance" <[email protected]> Subject: [BEARA] new McCarthy Beara query To: "Beara" <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" AoB volume 2 chronicles the various McCarthy lines.

Hi, Am trying to obtain an identity of a relative, info obtained says picture taken in the 1920's and she lived to be 110. How does one get the picture on the Beara list for viewing? Or is that not an option? Believe she is related to Regan, Sullivan, or ?McCarthy. Also believe she could be from Beara, what town is anyone's guess. Jean

If you want to know about these contracts, you can go to _www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nedchs_ (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nedchs) and it will explain railroad contracts in Nebraska. Four different Sullivan families including my grandfather and g grandfather came here in 1877 from the mines in Michigan and bought RR land, As it says on the web site, these contracts are on film at the Nebraska State Historical Society here in Lincoln and there is a film index of names. A number of years ago, a friend recorded a number of Irish on the contracts and I have that list. These contracts were from all over Ireland. I would assume that each state that the B and M RR go thru the state would also have these contracts. Teresa Sullivan In a message dated 3/18/2013 6:02:51 P.M.

Thanks for the info on railroad contacts. You can find a number of Crowleys in Wisconsin, including a Jeremiah, who had land contracts some as early 1831.

Hello Sue,I'm sorry to tell you that just before becoming engaged to my dear husband of 48 years I learned that his grandfather came from Slovakia and had his name changed at Ellis Island from Moravansky/Moranski to Moran! But, he does look like a tall Irishman!!! Best...Mary Ellen. P.S. When you get a chance would love to know if we have some Burkes in common. We are also expecting to be snowbound tomorrow! > From: [email protected] > Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2013 12:33:25 -0400 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [BEARA] Massachusetts and Rhode Island Beara settlers > > Hi, Mary Ellen, are you any relation to Morans of "some where" in Kerry, Glamorgan, Wales and then New Haven, CT?

Thee is a railroad contract for Jeremiah Crowley in Nebraska dated 1874 that shows he was from Cork City had been in the US for 21 years and in Nebraska for 4 years and had recently lived in Lindon Wisconsin.

They originated in Cluin (Allihies) and Dursey Island. If not for Riobard's research (Who Were My Ancestors) I would never have known that. Both families were in Wisconsin by the early 1840s.

Hi, Mary Ellen, are you any relation to Morans of "some where" in Kerry, Glamorgan, Wales and then New Haven, CT? My apologies if I have asked this before.
